In 2006 after attending a talk on bioinformatics, I had the idea of making an email client that would take the methods of bioinformatics and apply them to spam-detection.
Searches through input and outputs sequences that are repeated. Because it's intended for text files, control characters are ignored.
FindPatterns [filename] [-b] [-e] [-i] [-o] [-v] [-m<n>] [-l<n>] [-g<n>] [-?|h]
`filename` | Attempt to read input from this file, otherwise uses stdin. |
`-b` | Keep a buffer to count repeated matches (`!o -> b`.) |
`-e` | Echo input. |
`-i` | Case-insensitive (not implemented.) |
`-n` | Don't display matches at the end. |
`-o` | Output matches immediately as they are found. |
`-s` | Silent mode - plain output with no extra characters. |
`-v` | Verbose comments while outputting. |
`-g` | Set memory buffer granularity to the closest power of two lower than `` bytes (default 1024.) |
`-l` | Set match limit to `` matches (default 4096; 0 -> no limit.) |
`-m` | Set minimum match length to symbols (default 3). |
`-?` or `-h` | Display this help screen and exit. |
Adding -<s>-
will turn off switch <s>
.
Also included is a simple KillSpam
email client that takes the patterns
generated (from FindPatterns) and eliminates all the emails that have
matching patterns. This is compiled on lcc
Win32.
